Remove a chat agent from the Retell AI platform by specifying its agent ID to manage your deployed conversational AI resources.

Instructions

Delete a chat agent.

Input Schema

agent_idYesThe chat agent ID to delete

Implementation Reference

  • The handler logic within the executeTool switch statement that executes the tool by sending a DELETE request to the Retell API endpoint `/delete-chat-agent/${agent_id}`.
    case "retell_delete_chat_agent":
      return retellRequest(`/delete-chat-agent/${args.agent_id}`, "DELETE");
  • The tool schema definition including name, description, and inputSchema requiring 'agent_id' string.
    {
      name: "retell_delete_chat_agent",
      description: "Delete a chat agent.",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          agent_id: {
            type: "string",
            description: "The chat agent ID to delete"
          }
        },
        required: ["agent_id"]
      }
    },
  • src/index.ts:1283-1285 (registration)
    Registration of the tool listing handler that exposes the tools array containing this tool's schema.
    server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => {
      return { tools };
    });
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. 'Delete' implies a destructive mutation, but the description doesn't disclose whether this is permanent, reversible, requires specific permissions, affects associated resources, or has confirmation requirements. For a destructive operation with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in behavioral context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that states the core purpose without unnecessary words. It's appropriately sized for a simple deletion operation and front-loads the essential information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a destructive deletion tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't address critical behavioral aspects like permanence, side effects, or response format, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent to understand the tool's full implications.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'agent_id' clearly documented in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline for high schema coverage without compensating value.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Delete') and resource ('a chat agent'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like 'retell_delete_agent' by specifying 'chat agent' rather than generic 'agent'. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from 'retell_end_chat' or 'retell_delete_call', which could involve chat-related deletions.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'retell_delete_agent', 'retell_end_chat', and 'retell_delete_call', there's no indication of which deletion operation applies to chat agents specifically versus other agent types or chat sessions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
